In principle, no COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for spring/summer 2023. Nearly everyone in Switzerland has been vaccinated and/or contracted and recovered from COVID-19. Their immune system has therefore been exposed to the coronavirus. Seroprevalence data from mid-2022 98% had antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Seroprevalence of Infection-Induced SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies — United States, September 2021–February 2022 In spring/summer 2023, the virus will likely circulate less. The current virus variants also cause rather mild illness. For autumn 2023, the vaccination recommendation will be evaluated again and adjusted accordingly. What applies to people at especially high risk? In principle, it is also not currently recommended for people at especially high risk to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.

Other vaccinations with inactivated vaccines can also be administered before, at the same time as or after a COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccine We advise you to get vaccinated with a bivalent (i.e. variant-adapted) mRNA vaccine, or with the protein-based Novavax vaccine. Which vaccine(s) you have previously received is of no importance here. Please note: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have a severely weakened immune system, you should get yourself vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine.
